By “BILL” RICE It’s mighty hard to take, but if reports drifting from the Cardinal camp in the north, and old man dope, are to be gvien any credence, it loexs as though the edge conceded to S. C. in the big cinderpath argument with the Stanford Cardinals on Bovard Field tomorrow afternoon is nothing but a myth. Going over the records of thei northern athletes as compared with what may be expected from the Cardinal and Gold representatives tomorrow afternoon, ihe figures line up something like this. A possible 67 to 64 win for the Cardinal, with victory hanging in the bal--*? ance all the way through what promises to be the most hotly contested track and field meet ever to be held on Bovard Field.

Not Guilty!”Is Verdict
At Skull - Dagger Trial
An evident fondness for the evidence—a keg of beer which rapidly disappeared—caused a disagreement over the decision in the Skull and Dagger mock initiation and trial yesterday, and the defendant was dismissed as acquitted.
I. M. Guilty (Leo Calland), a well-known Los Angeles bootlegger, had been apprehended while taking orders at the Y. M. C. A. spring reception. Thus—the trial.
During the trial, hitherto hidden
secrets and scandal of S. C. fraternities and sororities were disclosed to the shock and merriment of the audience which overflowed the Old College chapel. The Sigma Taus were declared to all be bootleggers, the S.
A. E.'s to be absolute prohibitionists, but to stray from the “straight and narrow" at times: the Gamma Eps to jon ^Ur' have a bootlegger, and the Sigma Chi's to have a “cellar full.”
Frequent bursts of laughter from the audience evidenced their approval of the “brain-child" of Norman McKay and Leonard Thomas, and the two authors may be complimented on the success of their production. The script upset the tradition that the Skull and Dagger trial should be smutty, and was entirely “clean.”
McKay and Thomas, however, had a rip-roaring play.
Will I. Fixit (Leonard Thomas ),
District Attorney, and Lyon Steele (William Barber), Attorney for the Defense, battled valiantly to present their cases (not of beer, however), to the jury, but the latter evidenced more interest in the sampling of the evidence than the arguments.
Judge Knox M. Hard (Dudley Hayes), presided with proper dignity’, even telusiug to lose his stately bearing after 9 full glasses.
Vacation week will be a busy one for the Trojan track stars, with a return meet with California’s Golden Bears on the hooks for Saturday, Mffrch 31, in Berkeley,'and a little cinder path argument with the Stanford Cardinals slated to take place at Palo Alto on April 3rd.
The first meet will he a torrid af-, fair, with California slated to repeat i their performance of last Saturday and walk away with first honors. Events should go much as they did in the initial mixup, although the Bruins I in all probability will he able to chalk up a few additional points on their home lot.

Organization of U .S. C. swimmers has taken place during the last week since the Trojan swimming season started out so successfully with the recent victory over the Y. M. C.

It was decided this week to have two teams of waterdogs, a varsity and a freshman aggregation . So far most of the candidates for water-polo places are freshmen. Captain Boice urges all men interested in the gentle; splashing art to meet today at 2:30 at the L. A. Athletic Club. This year is; the first one in which U. S. C. has decided to have a varsity team in this j
volunteer, will be the next president of the University Branch of the Y. M. C. A., and Willard Shurr, a sophomore studying for the minstry, was elected to the office of vice president. The balloting for secretary was unusually close, and Johnny Flor, a sophomore and pre-legal, gained the office by the scant margin of one vote over the ballots cast for Orrin McCabe and Thomas Harrison. The office of treas urer went to Lester Heineman, a the College of Commerce,
by a comfortable lead. The offices are for two semesters, and the newly-elected officials will take charge next year, according to Mr. McGinnis.

TROJAN DEBATE MEN AT MEETING
Sir Charles Sings Swan
Song On Native Cinders
Wuxtry!!
The Cardinals and the Trojans are going to win the big annual dual track meet at Bovard Field tomorrow afternoon, when the Cardinals meet the Trojans. So say the coache*. It’s a case of: After you, my dear Alphonse. But ah, no; allow me, my dear Gaston.
“Stanford has the edge on us, so we may get trounced,” gaith Coach Cromwell of U. S. C.
“ U. S. C. has one of the classiest teams in the West; we concede them the victory,” saith Coach “Dink” Templeton of Stanford.
Choose your exit; but Stanford arrived in L, A. this morning, some twenty-five athletes strong, prepared to demonstrate one theory or the other. If their plans permit, Coach Templeton will let his men accustom themselves to the whims and peculiarities of Bovard Field this afternoon in a little practice.
Whatever the outcome of tomorrow’s clash, there will surely have been uncovered a colorful retinue of vivid thrills before Old Sol yawns back behind the score board. Events that bid fair to historv are:
Park, the “center of distribution” being Payne's Academy. One of the best orchestras in the city has been procured and the committees promise a full evening—full of noise, excitement, music, dancing and punch.
The tickets will cost $1.50 and are on sale now. Only 70 tickets will be

stand out and make first, the final appearance of Charley Paddock as a I \ S. C. runner at Bovard Field, fr^m where he rose to international fame; the impending hurdle duel between Falk of Stanford- and Otto Anderson of U. S. C.; and the bitter relay duel that will top the day’s program. In the latter event the record-setting Trojan quartet may be forced to spin the oval a few revolutions faster than usual, because they will have to beat one of the best Stanford relay teams in years, according to reports.
CHARLEY’S FAREWEL The last chauce to see Paddock iu action at Bovard Field will prove, p<?>.
haps, the chief magnet in drawing a large crowd. For four years the blonde-topped sprint genius has electrified the entire athletic world with his phenomenal speed, gaining such international fame and place as will probably exist for decades before his equal comes along. It had been bruited about that Paddock, due to a year's layofT from active competitive running, had “gone back.” But the easy way in which he has loped in to the tape in the two recent meets squashes all ideas in that direction. In fact, it has actually been prominently noticed that Paddock has not really extended himself to win his races this year, and yet he is stepping the 100 in 9:4. How fast he can really travel on a good track, by letting himself out, is a quite awe-striking question. He may do it at California and Stanford tracks.
U. S. C.’s relay team has recently formed the habit of bowling Over track records. But then it is composed of such speed phenoms as Yale Martz, "String” Johnson, Aden Hughes and “Tork” Torkelson. None the less, these boys are going to have to go some to outstep Stanford's excellent quartet. First event called at 2:16. Student tickets admit

C. has decided to have a varsity team in this j
volunteer, will be the next president of the University Branch of the Y. M. C. A., and Willard Shurr, a sophomore studying for the minstry, was elected to the office of vice president. The balloting for secretary was unusually close, and Johnny Flor, a sophomore and pre-legal, gained the office by the scant margin of one vote over the ballots cast for Orrin McCabe and Thomas Harrison. The office of treas urer went to Lester Heineman, a the College of Commerce,
by a comfortable lead. The offices are for two semesters, and the newly-elected officials will take charge next year, according to Mr. McGinnis.

TROJAN DEBATE MEN AT MEETING
Sir Charles Sings Swan
Song On Native Cinders
Wuxtry!!
The Cardinals and the Trojans are going to win the big annual dual track meet at Bovard Field tomorrow afternoon, when the Cardinals meet the Trojans. So say the coache*. It’s a case of: After you, my dear Alphonse. But ah, no; allow me, my dear Gaston.
“Stanford has the edge on us, so we may get trounced,” gaith Coach Cromwell of U. S. C.
“ U. S. C. has one of the classiest teams in the West; we concede them the victory,” saith Coach “Dink” Templeton of Stanford.
Choose your exit; but Stanford arrived in L, A. this morning, some twenty-five athletes strong, prepared to demonstrate one theory or the other. If their plans permit, Coach Templeton will let his men accustom themselves to the whims and peculiarities of Bovard Field this afternoon in a little practice.
Whatever the outcome of tomorrow’s clash, there will surely have been uncovered a colorful retinue of vivid thrills before Old Sol yawns back behind the score board. Events that bid fair to historv are:
Park, the “center of distribution” being Payne's Academy. One of the best orchestras in the city has been procured and the committees promise a full evening—full of noise, excitement, music, dancing and punch.
The tickets will cost $1.50 and are on sale now. Only 70 tickets will be
Coach Alan Nichols and Manager Barber will represent the University of Southern California at the Pacific Coast Debating League meeting to be held in Berkeley on the 24th and the 25th. The purpose of the meeting is to form a Pacific Coast League commensurate with the Pacific Coast Ath-

stand out and make first, the final appearance of Charley Paddock as a I \ S. C. runner at Bovard Field, fr^m where he rose to international fame; the impending hurdle duel between Falk of Stanford- and Otto Anderson of U. S. C.; and the bitter relay duel that will top the day’s program. In the latter event the record-setting Trojan quartet may be forced to spin the oval a few revolutions faster than usual, because they will have to beat one of the best Stanford relay teams in years, according to reports.
CHARLEY’S FAREWEL The last chauce to see Paddock iu action at Bovard Field will prove, p>.
haps, the chief magnet in drawing a large crowd. For four years the blonde-topped sprint genius has electrified the entire athletic world with his phenomenal speed, gaining such international fame and place as will probably exist for decades before his equal comes along. It had been bruited about that Paddock, due to a year's layofT from active competitive running, had “gone back.” But the easy way in which he has loped in to the tape in the two recent meets squashes all ideas in that direction. In fact, it has actually been prominently noticed that Paddock has not really extended himself to win his races this year, and yet he is stepping the 100 in 9:4. How fast he can really travel on a good track, by letting himself out, is a quite awe-striking question. He may do it at California and Stanford tracks.
U. S. C.’s relay team has recently formed the habit of bowling Over track records. But then it is composed of such speed phenoms as Yale Martz, "String” Johnson, Aden Hughes and “Tork” Torkelson. None the less, these boys are going to have to go some to outstep Stanford's excellent quartet. First event called at 2:16. Student tickets admit
